+CD-Text Usage (to copy CD-Text from master CD):
+
+ icedax -D 6,0 -vall -B # To extract audio information
+ wodim dev=6,0 -vv -toc # To extract CD-Text information
+
+ and then
+
+ wodim dev=6,0 -v -dao textfile=cdtext.dat -useinfo *.wav
+ or
+ wodim dev=6,0 -v -raw96r textfile=cdtext.dat -useinfo *.wav
+
+ If the CD-Text information contains more CRC errors than
+ wodim can correct, you need to reload the CD and to
+ re-read the CD-Text information from the master disk.
+
+ Writing of CD-Text is supported for all drives that support
+ CD-Text in SAO write mode and for all drives that support
+ to write in RAW/RAW96R mode (use -raw96r in this case).
+
+ NOTE: not all writers that support MMC SAO mode support
+ to write CD-Text in this write mode.
+ If you have a drive that does not support CD-Text
+ but supports RAW/RAW96R mode use this mode as
+ in RAW/RAW96R mode the drive does not need to know
+ about CD-Text. This way even old drives like the
+ Plextor PX-R 412C will write CD-Text.
+
+ NOTE that icedax will read CD-Text and fill in the
+ CD-Text fields in the *.inf files if vou use -vall.
+
+ The new icedax option cddb= allows you to tell icedax to
+ retrieve CDDB information from freedb.freedb.org.
+ cddb=0 means ask if ambiguous, cddb=1 means take first entry.
+ The information in this case is filled into the fields
+ in the *.inf files.
+
+Creating a CD with CD-Text based on CDDB information from freedb.freedb.org:
+
+ Tell icedax to fetch data from freedb.freedb.org, call
+
+ icedax -D 6,0 -vall -B cddb=1 # To extract audio information/fetch CDDB data
+
+ and then call
+
+ wodim dev=6,0 -v -dao -text -useinfo *.wav
+ or
+ wodim dev=6,0 -v -raw96r -text -useinfo *.wav
+
+
+If you like to create your own CD-text data for a CD use the
+following method:
+
+ First extract all tracks with icedax -vall (see above),
+
+ then edit the *.inf Files and add album and song titles.
+
+ Now call wodim as if the *.nf files contain CD-Text
+ information.
+
+ Note that it is recommended to use less that 160 characters
+ for a single string.
